Mr Basu is the one of the nicest consultants I have come across. He is very empathic and understanding. He has a very calm nature even whilst delivering results. Good and bad. He will reassure you and you know you are in safe hands to keep you going through a breast cancer journey. I will 110% recommend Mr Basu to anyone that has any breast related problems. From surgery through to making sure you understand what is happening next, step by step so you can mentally prepare yourself with what to expect. I am very lucky to have such a good/caring consultant that works from his heart on my door step. Thank you Mr Basu!

From my first consultation with Dr Basu I felt at ease with the procedure I was about to have. He talked me through every step of the way. He was very honest about the procedure and how I would look afterwards. He was very patient and considerate and listened to me as I was very nervous of having an operation. I never felt rushed.
I emailed and contacted Elizabeth Nelson (Dr Basu lovely assistant) she answered all my questions immediately. she is very friendly and nothing to much trouble.
My operation went better than I could have expected, very little pain and down time after wards. I was so pleased with the overall look. Dr Basu was on hand after the operation if I had any concerns.
I would full recommend Dr Basu and his team. 5 star treatment.

I just want to thank yourself & your team from the bottom of my heart. Thank you to the team at Birmingham Women’s Breast unit; Dr Walker, Marylin & all the staff, where it was the start of this journey.
Mr Basu, I first met yourself when you had to break the news of me being diagnosed with breast cancer, my heart sank and slowly my eyes filled with tears, you were patient and so kind in your mannerism. You took the time to make sure I fully understood the diagnosis and I’m so grateful.
The whole process leading up to surgery was swift & smooth. Elizabeth made me feel at ease every time I spoke to her & even when I broke down in tears she assured me I was in the best hands.
Mr Basu, you made time during your busy day to go through the therapeutic mammoplasty with me and not once did you make me feel uncomfortable with my countless questions and fears. I asked you on the day of surgery if you were able to remove the extra breast tissue as it really was last minute, I was so pleasantly surprised you did during the surgery. I was so anxious on the day of surgery but when I met Dr Balla the anaesthetist, he was so lovely and kind. Honestly at that moment, I truly knew I was with the best team. It got even better when I met Dr Selina Bains who performed amazing surgery to the right breast. The whole surgery went so smoothly and I am eternally thankful to yourself, Mr Basu, you truly have gifted hands and make anyone going through this journey feel very at ease. Moving forward feeling positive with my treatment plan with the wonderful Dr Henderson.
You have a wonderful team!
THANK YOU & stay blessed always

Everyone should experience both the care and service I Have received. From the onset he explained the steps and showed care, empathy and professionalism at all times.
I genuinely do not believe anything could have been done better to support and reassure me.
His team at The Breastcare clinic was first class and in particular to his secretaries and Dr Walker and now Dr Henderson.
I couldn’t speak highly enough of all and Mr Basu such a kind, caring and highly skilled surgeon. I will be forever in his gratitude.

I have been a patient of Dr Basu since being diagnosed with Breast Cancer a few months ago. Despite the curse of my diagnosis I couldn’t have asked for a better Dr and standard of care. He and his team are super-efficient, have gone out of their way to get fast effective treatment for me and he has super-human levels of patience. During every consultation he has been ever patient, carefully listened to all my questions and concerns then taken the time to explain everything to me and provided constant reassurance. He has been accessible at all times even over weekends and the support has been broad. He looks after you as if you are family and despite having a 90 minute journey to see him at times as we wanted the fastest appointment we couldn’t ask for anything more. Our family see him as an angel not just a doctor for what he has done for us and would recommend him in less than a blink of a eye.

I first met Mr Basu in January 2019 when I discovered a lump under my arm. I attended the Spire hospital at Little Aston and I was able to get an appointment within 5 days. Mr Basu performed a thorough check and the conclusion was there was nothing to be concerned about.
In May 2019 I discovered a lump under one of my breasts. Once again I was able to get to see Mr Basu within days. This time Mr Basu suggested an Ultra Sound scan and a biopsy which were done that very same day. Mr Basu stayed in communication, reassuring me throughout, until the results which again proved to be of no concern.
In July of 2019 I discovered a further lump under one of my breasts. Again I was able to get to see Mr Basu very quickly and once again he suggested another Ultra Sound scan and biopsy. Naturally the days after the appointment were particularly stressful whilst awaiting the results. Mr Basu stayed in communication again to reassure me. The results proved to be of no concern.
I am now due to visit Mt Basu again in October for a routine check.
I would not hesitate in recommending Dr Basu for many reasons; First and foremost his empathy is authentic. He genuinely cares which is apparent in the way he communicates offering reassurance when he knows the patient is under psychological stress awaiting results.
At one appointment my eight year old daughter was present. Mr Basu could see my distress and opted to rearrange the appointment days later when I could be on my own.
Dr Basu explains the medical jargon is layman's terms helping with my understanding. His reassurance, clarity and empathy make a stressful time that bit easier.
Kind regards

I first met Naren Basu in 2016 at the Queen Elizabeth Women's Hospital. I had been diagnosed with breast cancer. He is an exceptionally skilled man at putting people at their ease and explaining everything with great patience and candour. He is a consummate professional and really knows his stuff, especially relating to breast cancer. He is very clever, witty, and a super surgeon. He carried out a reduction to both my breasts, removing the tumours at the same time. I was fortunate indeed to have my surgery via the NHS, it would have been very expensive as a private patient but worth every penny. I felt like a million dollars after my operation. I think he is a fabulous man and so skilled on so many levels and outstanding in human kindness.

I met Naren Basu in 2016 at the Queen Elizabeth Women's Hospital, following a diagnosis of breast cancer. He is very professional, very kind, a super surgeon, witty and extremely knowledgeable in all matters relating to the breast and breast cancer. He doesn't rush, he listens, he is genuine and I think he is rather fabulous. I was fortunate indeed to have my cancer removed via a breast reduction courtesy the NHS, it would have been an expensive operation privately but it would have been worth every penny, he is a fantastic man who is gifted in many ways but particularly in human kindness.

I contacted Dr Basu on behalf of my mother, who is receiving treatment for breast cancer. She was confused about reconstruction options, and wanted more information on using your own tissue, as this is not offered at the hospital at which she is being treated, and the pros and cons of immediate vs. delayed reconstruction.
I sent Dr Basu a message via his website at 11 am on a Friday and he personally called me back two hours later and offered my mother an appointment the following Monday or Tuesday evening.
I accompanied my mother to the appointment and we were both impressed at Dr Basu's caring manner and willingness to answer all our questions very clearly. The information that he gave us helped my mother to decide on the course of action most suited to her, and she is now feeling very positive about her upcoming surgery.
